Three athletes from India qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia held between 7 and 23 February 2014.

[5] Shiva Keshavan, participating in Luge, was thus the only independent athlete at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Elections by the Indian Olympic Association were scheduled two days after the opening ceremony, which would not provide enough time for the suspension to be lifted.

As the event was held during the first weekend of the Games, Keshavan had to compete as an Independent Olympic Participant.

Keshavan finished the four runs of the event in 37th position out of 39, marking his worst ever performance at the Winter Olympics.
